My Wife Stole My Luck, Now She’ll Lose It AllChapter 1

At the company’s annual party, everyone got a prank scratch-off card that could win $14 million.

I didn’t bother scratching mine and just took it home. After my shower, the ticket was gone and my wife looked nervous.

I was about to tell her it was just a prank, but then my mother-in-law rushed in yelling, “Sweetheart, divorce him now! He’s useless! You’re a billionaire now. You can find a better man anywhere!”

Without thinking twice, my wife agreed. “Okay, Mom. I’ve already booked an appointment. I’ll get the divorce tomorrow!”

She then looked at me and said calmly, “You’re not going to claim the ticket is yours, right? I checked; scratch-offs are anonymous. Whoever holds it owns it. Ted, my mom’s right. You’re not good enough for me anymore.”

My heart dropped. I quietly put away the gift I’d bought her with my multi-million-dollar year-end bonus. If she thought I wasn’t good enough, then she didn’t deserve any of it.
